Fishing Greeley Pond in Kennebec County, Maine

• Overview

  You will find Greeley Pond in Kennebec County, Maine. Salt water lies 17 miles off. The water covers some 48 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Bank access stretches around 1.1 miles in total. It is low-lying compared with other Maine water we list. Augusta lies 3.5 miles from the water. Manchester is the closest city, 126 miles away. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Greeley Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Records held for Kennebec County cover brown trout, Atlantic salmon, largemouth bass and smallmouth bass. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. On Greeley Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 69°F; by January the average is down near 19°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Once it clears, about early April, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate figures give an open season running early April to mid December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. It holds true on Greeley Pond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Lower Togus Pond, 2.1 miles away. Rules at Greeley Pond are worth checking on the day.
